Aasha was handed over to In-Sync Exotics, an organization that cares for and rehabilitates wild cats that have suffered in captivity.

“Every day, twice a day, I would go in and give Aasha medications and spend time with her,” Vicky Keahey of In-Sync Exotics told The Dodo.

Every day, Vicky had to give Aasha a special medical bath. To do this, Vicky had to chase her around her cage and force her into the bath, as Aasha wasn’t fond her her bathtime.

After eight weeks of treatment, Aasha’s fur started growing back. And slowly but surely, she also began to appreciate her daily baths. Even when Aasha’s treatments were over and she no longer needed more baths, Vicky continued to run baths for her so the tiger could play in the water and have a good time.

Aasha will never be placed in the wild because growing up in captivity meant she didn’t develop all the skills she would need to survive. But she has a good life. And she’ll never again be treated like she was at the circus!

Wild animals don’t belong in the circus. Please share to spread awareness if you agree.
